against ball either game gaps goes great hit inside last man moved outside pure respect rotation shots spots year zone
They (the Warriors) had a great respect for our inside people, so when the ball went in against either a man (to-man) or zone defense, we had a little rotation that moved E.J. into some spots or gaps where he was open. That's the same thing he did here last year and he also hit some big shots for us in those games. His game accentuated when we get into a two-man game where the ball goes in then back outside because he's a pure shooter.
ball basket campbell feet forced kick knew last locked move ryan spun switched
We knew what they were going to do in the last set, so we switched and put Ryan Campbell on him so he couldn't get to the hole. Carlson made his move and spun back to find Campbell there. We had him locked up 15 feet from the basket and he could do nothing but kick the ball out for a forced three-pointer.
aggressive anytime ball basket guy guys moves physical sets spinning step tough trying versatile
Anytime you're that versatile when you're a big guy it's a tough go. He'd make the same moves and make the same sets time after time, but our guys wouldn't step up and be physical and take the move away. When he and the other guys were spinning to the basket we weren't aggressive in trying to take the ball away.
grabbed half hang job late offensive poor rebounds second
We did a poor job rebounding. They (the Titans) grabbed 14 offensive rebounds in the second half that enabled them to hang in there and get a late lead.
closing foul minutes played second until
We could've gambled and played Germain more in the first half, but we were right in there until the closing minutes without him. He was fatigued, and I didn't want to have him get another foul and then play tentatively in the second half.
campbell played second
E.J. got us going with that three-ball. We played a lot better in the second half. And Campbell played well, too.
against good held second together
We've put together some good second halves. Against Highline (on Saturday), we held them to 29 second-half points.
commitment court decided earliest insight josh kids mess program spend success time verbal waiting
This is the earliest verbal commitment we've received. A lot of kids don't have the insight as to what they want to do, and they spend a lot of time waiting on things. Josh didn't want to mess around waiting for offers, and he decided to come into a program where he can have success on the court and in the classroom.
ahead ball games good inside opponents shoot
They shoot the ball really well and take a lot of 3-pointers. They've had some big wins, and they've had games where they were way ahead and let their opponents back in and lost. They also have a good inside presence.
best focused good guys time
This is a big time for us. I'm doing my best to get these guys ready, but we need to get focused when we get to Kennewick and have some good practices.
earlier found hit stopped
If we could've stopped a little earlier on the break, found our shooters and hit the shots, we could've been right in the game.
becoming bigger both continue court ends games gets improvement nick transition
Nick is getting better as he gets more games under his belt. We continue to see his improvement at both ends of the court in the transition game. He's becoming a bigger part of our team.
basketball couple expect game great habits nick played starting
Nick is getting better and better with each game he plays. He's been out of basketball a couple of years and he's starting to get some of his old habits back. He played another great game for us and we expect great things from him in the future.
best break game gets good hurt percent ran ways wrist
Omar hurt his wrist in the Tacoma game. He didn't play his best game tonight, but he contributed in other ways and ran the break well early, which got us off to a good start. We know he'll be there for us down the stretch. When he gets back 100 percent physically, he'll have a lot more confidence.
